The journey for the Northeastern University men’s basketball team began where so many have ended for the legends of the great sport.
On Friday, the Huskies toured the National Basketball Hall of Fame before making their way up to Canada. The team viewed all of the exhibits, along with competitions in video games, vertical jumps, reaction times and even a dunk contest.
Players also took the time to shoot baskets with the youth that gravitated towards them. They even had time to discuss this year’s outlook and talk about the opposition with the children’s parents.
After a few photos and one last look, the Huskies boarded the bus and continued on towards Canada. Ten hours later, with a stop for dinner and one to check in at the Canadian border, the players and coaches arrived at their first destination, Toronto.
As the bus rolled through the city, the excitement began to grow quickly. Players were pointing out sites and gazing at the amazing buildings and nightlife in Toronto.
At 1:35 a.m. the bus came to a halt and the Huskies grabbed their bags, found their rooms and went to bed. However, the excitement of tomorrow may keep them awake just a little longer.
